Louise Carpenter

Many believe that Louise Carpenter is the Grey Lady but rumors suggest it could have been another lady that predates the Library itself due to the clothing associated with the ghost sightings. Also because of the sightings being non violent. Researchers believe that if it was her than she probably would have been throwing books and creating a more angry mood. Either case the Lady in Grey is a mystery as to why she may be haunting the library. The first reported sighting was by a janitor in the 1930s and soon many people have reported strange phenomena.
